INTERMODAL TANK TRANSPORT SYSTEM, COMPONENTS, AND METHODS

摘要

An intermodal tank system, tank container and complementary chassis are disclosed which allow for improved usability of the tank container in intermodal environments such as with rail cars. The intermodal tank has first and second ends and includes a tank, a frame supporting the tank, and a container ladder. The chassis has first and second ends and includes a base, a wheel coupled to the base, and a landing gear longitudinally inward from the first and second ends adapted to support the chassis. The container is engaged by a first chassis support near the landing gear and a second rearward chassis support positioned between the first and second chassis ends. The chassis includes a chassis ladder which is substantially aligned with the container ladder when the container is positioned on the chassis.
